TOWIE's Joey Turner exposes nasty message from Love Island star calling him 'vile'

Joey Turner has called out Love Island star Chloe Burrows for sending him an unkind comment before she shot to fame on the ITV2 show last summer.

The TOWIE star, 20, uncovered the message from fellow reality TV star Chloe on Instagram as he was looking back through his archived posts recently.

The reality TV favourite publicly called out the Love Island star after she wrote 'so vile' underneath one of photos from 2019 - before she shot to fame on Love Island.

Calling out Chloe's hurtful comment, Joey took to his stories to unveil the nasty unearthed message as he penned: "Was casually going thru my archived posts. I'm screaming hahahahahha.

"Not 17-year-old me getting hated on by a wannabe Love Islander purrrrr."

In another sassy post, Joey also he also hit back at Chloe by insisting that he was 'no idea' who is she is because he has never watched an episode of Love Island.

"Chloe defo posts "use my code to get 10% of this #bekind hoodie" too," he mocked.

Before admitting: "I've never watched an episode of Love Island btw it just says it in her bio."

Chloe's hurtful unearthed comment comes after Joey recently opened up about the vile abuse he's received from trolls that lead to him making a panicked 2am phone call to the show's counsellors.

The 20-year-old star was devastated by the horrendous messages he's received from strangers online, with one cruelly saying he should be 'shot' and 'put down.'

Joey said he tried to develop a 'thick skin' and ignore the nasty comments but sought support from experts when the trolling intensified.

"I called the Towie phsychologist at 2am in the morning because of it," he revealed.

Joey thanked the team at the ITVBe show for helping him cope with the emotional turmoil, telling The Sun, they have been 'absolutely brilliant.'

"They have said I can call them anytime I have a problem, and they will always answer the phone," he said.

Joey recently shocked fans by announcing he was leaving the glamorous reality series after just two years.

Explaining his decision, he said: "I'm leaving at the right time, for me.

"I was only 17 when I joined the show, and it has been the dream job."

Joey admitted he also felt the huge age gap between some of the older stars in the cast which led to him going down the cosmetic surgery route.

"Most of the stars are around 10 years older than me, sometimes I felt like I didn’t fit in. Botox and dermal fillers help me look and feel more mature.

"I really like how it looks. It was about enhancing the features I already have. I'm really pleased with it."

The star had botox injected into his chin to lengthen his face and has also had filler in his cheeks and lips.

The Mirror has reached out to representatives of Chloe Burrows for comment on this story.
